In her high school, she was part of a group of people labeled as the “burnouts”, meaning that people weren’t sure if they were going to graduate or not.
Profession Life
Maria gave birth to her son Davion at the tender age of 15. The songs “He Said Eternity” and “All For You” were written with him in mind. Soon after she had her son, she moved out on her own and got her own apartment. She began to work in a launderette to pay the bills while simultaneously performing with local bands submitting to her musical passion.
The first band she was ever in, was when she was 18. It was an Albany-based band called Pulse. They opened local shows for bands such as Coal Chamber and Sevendust, but they eventually broke up. Soon after her first band’s break-up, she was convinced she would be more successful in LA. So she packed up her things into a U-Haul van, and she drove cross-country so she could follow her dreams. It wasn’t until almost six weeks later that she flew her son out to LA. There she worked in coffee shops and bars while also performing at some local bars.
When she and Chris first met, he wouldn’t audition her because she was a woman. But upon hearing her sing, he immediately apologized for stereotyping her. Right after her addition, they decided to work together.
More
She officially started her metal journey from the year 2005. The same year she formed a band named Dying Stars with Chris and Jeff with whom she performed and wrote songs. But after only two gigs, they put the kibosh on that. The song “Drifting”, which is now considered an In This Moment demo, was actually recorded under the Dying Star band name. Later in the year 2007, she wrote Legacy of Odio as a tribute to her deceased best friend.
Eventually, later she released many songs and went on to become a major hit and she began receiving recognition for her works as an artist. Her specific brand of screaming is what is known as melodic screaming, in which you are basically screaming onto the pitch. You are essentially singing and screaming at the same time. This tends to cause more wear and tear on the vocal cords than other forms of screaming, which means she has to take extra care of her voice.
Currently, she is working on her solo albums. Apart from her music career, she is also a very good painter. She often does custom painting for her Wonderland site. Her favorite band in the entire world is the Deftones, and Chino Moreno is her favorite vocalist. She owns an adorable little chihuahua named Twinkle.
